Dancing to a Different Magbit
Solange Borna
February 7, 2002
When my friend first mentioned the word Magbit to me, I knew she was thinking of getting married. For us Persian Jewish girls, Magbit (pronounced Magbeet) comes to mind when you\’re all partied out, ready to settle down and attend the 11-year-old organization\’s elaborate singles events.
Still Got ‘Game’
Michael Aushenker
January 24, 2002
Like Budd Schulberg\’s \”What Makes Sammy Run?\” Phillip Roth\’s \”Portnoy\’s Complaint\” and other milestones of Jewish American literature, Will Eisner\’s \”Name of the Game\” explores the depths of Jewish self-loathing and assimilation. But what separates \”Name\” — a tale chronicling two immigrant families that merge through marriage for social advancement and then suffer destructive consequences — from the others, is that Eisner\’s work is a comic book.\n\n

Mysteries of the Jews
Jewish Journal
January 6, 2000
The big surprise of the holiday season, if you caught it, was Jerry Seinfeld\’s wedding.\nIt turns out the man whose television persona perfectly embodied men\’s fear of commitment was, in real life, simply waiting for the right Jewish woman. Once he found her, baddaboom, baddabing, you\’ve got a traditional Jewish wedding, chuppah, broken glass, the works. It\’s so traditional, the crabmeat canapes come out only after the rabbi leaves. They even saw to a kosher Jewish divorce for the once-married bride. Who knew television\’s darkest satirist was such a sentimental traditionalist offscreen?
